Cerebrospinal Fluid Pulsations and Aging Effects in Mathematical Models of Hydrocephalus
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-20)In this Thesis we develop mathematical models to analyze two proposed causative mechanisms for the ventricular expansion observed in hydrocephalus: cerebrospinal fluid pulsations and small transmantle pressure gradients. To ... -
Numerical Study of a Viscoelastic Model for Hydrocephalus
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Hydrocephalus is a clinical conditon where the brain tissue is deformed by the expanding ventricules. In this thesis, the mechanical deformation of a hydrocephalic brain is studied using a biomechanical model, where the ...
